I probably watch too much TV but every time I watch Elementary, I want to dress like Joan Watson. Kudos to the costumer, Lucy Lui looks fab!
On The Good Wife, Diane Lockhart had this jacket on with zippers that was amazing. Not that I would ever dress like anyone on that show but I really like the clothes on it.
Show got cancelled, but Ally McBeal on Brothers and Sisters is totally my style. If I was male- Nolan on Revenge. Or anyone on Nashville (oh wait- I already do that).
Casual/dressy casual: Lucy Liu on Elementary; Sophia Bush on Chicago P.D. (boots, jackets, accessories–some crossover with Lucy Liu); Piper Perabo on Covert Affairs
Work/dressy: Tea Leoni on Madam Secretary; Julianna Marguiles on The Good Wife.
It’s not my style, but I think Claire (Robin Wright) on House of Cards has had an amazing wardrobe. Every single item. Including the gray cashmere robe.
Another vote for Olivia Pope. The rest of the shows I watch, Brooklyn 99, New Girl, until recently Justified, and Parks & Rec, aren’t really fashion forward. ( but the Fleetwood Mac sex pantsuit was memorable)
Plus, I would like her superpower of wearing white while drinking red wine, and never spilling a drop.
(except on her couch)
“What? No one wants to dress like Sophia Vergara on Modern Family??!!!”
I have not watched that show, so I googled… And apparently today I looked almost like her twin - same blue top and black pants with a bit less cleavage and bling and flatter shoes.
Since my lifestyle does not call for too much Downton Abbey clothing…I would vote for Claire Underwood’s/Robin Wright clothing along with Olivia Pope’/Kerry Washington and the clothing worn by both Julianna Margolies and Christine Baranski on The Good Wife.
Kate Beckett on Castle always looks great. She owns approximately 3,000 cool coats and jackets on a cop salary and she can disarm a huge bad guy while wearing five inch heeled boots.
